Heres the 2023 American Women Quarters Reverse Candidate Designs Maria Tallchief
Anyone knows what do the weird symbols mean? They're in all the designs, so they probably represent something meaningful, but I don't recognize them and Google isn't helpful.

EDIT: looks like they're supposed to be her name in Osage script.

Hey datadragon not exactly.

By the time I reached the arcade age of 7-9 years old it was the mid to late 1990s and the snes and n64 were hugely popular.

I was born in 1987.

@kopper Ken "what the female is famous for"... yikes, dude. Just yikes. "The female"? Really?

Also, as others have pointed out, we don't include Wikipedia summaries on any other coins. Don't remember there being an explanation of who John Muir was on the 2005 CA quarter or who Caesar Rodney was on the 1999 DE...

When you mentioned 'arcade token' it first brought up in my mind the classic era of hanging out at arcades from around 1979-1984 which is the timeframe of those songs (from arcade games based songs from that era released on a vinyl album) and arcade video I posted. Some arcades of course continued into 1989 and even the 90s and beyond with a few still around today but very different of course as time went on.

Generally I do see a lot of discussion about the people who are found on coinage such as in public ccac and Commission of Fine Arts released memos about their choices but the average person has never seen those. The mint could potentially add some info to their product pages etc but historically the people on coinage were well known in many cases and did not usually require additional info to know who they, at least, might be in general.
